For a peek into Alison’s world, check out this self-professed Duranie’s Instagram feed, chock full of bridal inspiration, dreamy beauty, fashion and travel pics plus her fabulous feline, Angus.

1. Tech Toys – I am an Apple junkie. There is one of everything around my house and I love each of my devices equally – each has a purpose and a specialty. I’m the person who has to have the newest, latest and greatest when it’s launched (but no, I won’t wait in line for it).

2. Favourite Cat – I’ve had many cats in my life, each with wonderful, wild and distinctive personalities. Though I hate to play favourites, my current feline Angus may be my all-time best-loved. Angus is a rag doll, a breed that is known to be big, fuzzy, floppy, gentle, intelligent and fiercely loyal. He makes days brighter, is a loyal companion and is a patient (and popular) Instagram subject.

3. Caudalie Beauty Elixir – Quite simply, it’s heaven in a bottle. I use it morning and night (and sometimes in between) after washing my face. It’s a toner-meets-serum chock full of goodness including oil of rosemary, orange blossom, rose and mint. Seven spritzes on the face are all it takes to get a gorgeous glow and an energizing lift!

4. Wedding Rings – I LOVE jewelry and accessories but these are my two all-time favourites. I never leave the house without them.

5. Chanel 2.55 Bag – This was a bucket list item that I treated myself to a few years ago for a milestone birthday. It’s a classic piece that makes you feel impossibly chic.
